This library contains character information about native emojis.
Add gemoji
to your Gemfile.
This would allow emojifying content such as: it's raining :cat:s and :dog:s!
See the Emoji cheat sheet for more examples.
module EmojiHelper def emojify(content) h(content).to_str.gsub(/:([\w+-]+):/) do |match| if emoji = Emoji.find_by_alias($1) %(<img alt="#$1" src="#{image_path("emoji/#{emoji.image_filename}")}" style="vertical-align:middle" width="20" height="20" />) else match end end.html_safe if content.present? end end
Translate emoji names to unicode and vice versa.
>> Emoji.find_by_alias("cat").raw => "🐱" # Don't see a cat? That's U+1F431. >> Emoji.find_by_unicode("\u{1f431}").name => "cat"
You can add new emoji characters to the Emoji.all
list:
emoji = Emoji.create("music") do |char| char.add_alias "song" char.add_unicode_alias "\u{266b}" char.add_tag "notes" end emoji.name #=> "music" emoji.raw #=> "♫" emoji.image_filename #=> "unicode/266b.png" # Creating custom emoji (no Unicode aliases): emoji = Emoji.create("music") do |char| char.add_tag "notes" end emoji.custom? #=> true emoji.image_filename #=> "music.png"
As you create new emoji, you must ensure that you also create and put the images they reference by their image_filename
to your assets directory.
You can customize image_filename
with:
emoji = Emoji.create("music") do |char| char.image_filename = "subdirectory/my_emoji.gif" end
For existing emojis, you can edit the list of aliases or add new tags in an edit block:
emoji = Emoji.find_by_alias "musical_note" Emoji.edit_emoji(emoji) do |char| char.add_alias "music" char.add_unicode_alias "\u{266b}" char.add_tag "notes" end Emoji.find_by_alias "music" #=> emoji Emoji.find_by_unicode "\u{266b}" #=> emoji
